Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

DUDE, do you know how much one of those is... $900-$1200... I'm not going to lie if I had a legit stomr trooper suit I'd probably never take it off.

People who like Star Wars should be able to serve Lucasfilms a cease and desist order for the damage they did to those shows.

Yeah, tell me about it. I was watching it with my kids the other day and had to bite my tongue everytime I noticed another horrible pasted-in CGI effect.

And don't even get me started on Greedo shooting first.
